Chicago metro
Owners across the Chicago metro area tell us the same story: the elevators still run, but parts take weeks and every breakdown costs tenants a day. Modernizing before the controller fails completely is cheaper and far less disruptive.
Typical scope in Hoffman Estates: new controller and drive, door operators and restrictors, hall and car fixtures, and — where needed — machine replacement. Shaft, rails and car frame are usually retained.
Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
